Donald Trump Promises Universal Health Care

On ABC news tonight John Brennon the outgoing CIA chief has criticized Donald Trump’s remarks about comparing the CIA to Nazi activity for leaking information.  I think this is an unprecedented first and a new low for an incoming President.  Meanwhile Donald Trump is promising Universal Health Care for all.  He reiterated his promise not to cut Medicare and to give them a good health care system.  I believe there was a remark made in a blog lately is “When does a promise turn into a threat?”   For the Republicans such a remark would be a threat.  But in the broader scheme of things whenever a fascist type personality takes over,  you have to stear your way through the morass of idle promises and look for the looming threats behind the bushes.  Donald Trump after all got his success from a reliance on a very crude fact of American politics of “Whoever promises the most change is the candidate who wins”.  It seems to not matter whether it’s good change or bad change.  We only have just over three days to go.  I know there is an adage that who ever compares anything to Adolph Hitler loses the argument.   But the pure fact is that with any military junta with a strong man in control you run accross the same perils.  The people go after a strong authorian figure in sort of a Messiah complex thinking if we yield our wills to the Leader he will lead us to the promised land.  But it almost never happens.  

Gene Cernan, the last of two astronauts to walk on the moon, died today at age 82.  I believe that would have been Apollo XVI in December of 1972.  After this the Nixon administration made the decision to destroy all of the remaining booster rockets.  It was always Gene Cernan’s wish that man would return to the moon.  And we’ve been waiting a long time.

At Anaheim High School, not so far away, students are now working with 3 D printers.  They are “students who are learning the skills for tomorrow”.  But what they are producing is amazing.  They are making prosthetic hands for a fraction of the cost they would otherwise cost.  I have thought for a while is someone really wanted to reak havoc they would mass produce firearms and floot the market with them putting people out of business.

Meanwhile it seems Federico was open for giving hair cuts in there.  I passed by the room just to check it out once more and now Federico was in this cluttered room giving a haircut to Steve Carone.  I think maybe he should have cut his hair shorter.  It looked a little sloppy but he says Steve didn’t want it too short.  I got a short haircut from Federico and I guess I’ll be tapped for the funds tomorrow when I go for Money Draw.  Federico was pretty quick in giving the haircut.  Maybe he was in a hurry. 

It is my hope that the first posting of the day (Monday) doesn’t get lost in the shuffle because there’s an awful lot of good stuff in this posting.  I suggest people read everything in it carefully.  I know from experience that words of wisdom don’t grow on trees.  And when you come across a whole bunch of them you know you've found a good thing.  

If Donald Trump were God and he'd managed to create heaven and earth and subsequent to the act discovered that Sin had invaded his Creation, would Trump be the sort of guy to wad the thing up like a piece of paper and throw it in the trash.  Or perhaps would Trump be the sort of fellow who's words of Obama rang in his ears whispering "You didn't do that" and figured even if he somehow managed to do it once, he'd never be able to pull off another creation like it.
